Scheduled on March 23 and 24, the two-day international conference explores the ‘museum’ as a site of incubation, invention and ideation, with sessions designed to initiate a discourse around the cultural objects of the museum. In light of the Covid-19 pandemic’s unforeseen and unprecedented impact on the arts and cultural industry, there are a series of panel discussions reflecting on the challenges as well as learnings for the creative industries overall and specifically examine these from the perspective of artists, curators, patrons, connoisseurs and museums. Sessions at the conference will also explore the role that technology and virtual storytelling has played in being able to connect audiences with the artistic world and the future of museums in the digital age.

Some of the highlight sessions include ‘Elements of a Museum’, ‘Perceptions of Art’ ‘Viewership, Connoisseurship, Outreach in a Post-Pandemic World’, New Museums, New Audiences: Sharing in the Virtual Age, `Bihar Museum: An Icon of Hope, Transformation and Resilience` and ‘Bihar, India, and the World’.

The virtual masterclasses, which run for four days will focus on a variety of subjects including restoration of art, storytelling through dance, writing biographies, cinema critique, cultural appreciation, and writing in Indian languages with a specific focus on the rich tapestry of vernacular dialects.

Those conducting the masterclasses include Shovana Narayan and Neelam Choudhary; Purushottam Agrawal, Ravikant, Lucia Martinez, Eva Martinez; Manu S. Pillai, Prayag Shukla, Vinod Bhardwaj and Ira Mukhoty.

Visitors who will physically be present at the Bihar Museum will be free to embark on a curated, audio-guided tour of the highlights of the collection.

Additionally, they will also have the opportunity to explore two curated exhibitions at the museum: one on the `Making of the Bihar Museum` by the leading architect Rahul Gore, and another that will showcase the collections of 19 local state museums of Bihar.
